Africa is fast becoming an investment destination for firms operating outside the continent, and effective management is central to the realization of organizational goals. This volume evaluates the need for management philosophies and theories that reflect the peculiarities of the African continent.
Indigenous Management
Practices in Africa: A Guide for Educators and Practitioners is a timely response to the recent call
for management philosophies and theories that reflect the peculiarities of the
African continent. Western management models in Africa may not have yielded the
results required to trigger economic growth and development, yet Africa is fast
becoming the investment destination of firms operating outside the continent.
This book unravels the indigenous management practices that shape
the way that organisations operate in Africa. It also addresses the differences
between indigenous African and western management practices, at the same time considering the implications for African business management. Insights from the book offer
a framework for developing African management curricula for business schools,
both within and outside the continent. Practitioners aiming to expand their
operations on the continent may also find valuable insights in this book – ones
that may support and develop future management decisions.
